Snowy days in a sleepy village

I love snow. Especially when it stops me going to school and gets me sent home from work early. Not so much when it gets all brown and slushy, makes the ground slippery so I fall over and freezes my hands until they feel as though they're going to fall off. Still, though: its prettiness makes the downsides completely worth it.

Waking up to see the whole neighbourhood blanketed in the stuff on Friday morning was enough to get me excited, but I didn't have much chance to go out it in. Today, however, I was accidentally awake at stupid 'o' clock and I couldn't get back to sleep. So being the crazy, adventurous, live-life-on-the-edge kinda gal that I am, I decided to throw on a load of jumpers, a big coat, lots of woollyness and a pair of wellies and venture into the village a whole three hours before I needed to be awake for work. All the normal people were still asleep and I managed to bump in to absolutely no one on my travels. This is one plus side of living in the middle of nowhere. The gardens and graveyard down the church path were completely untouched and particularly beautiful.﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

Just found your blog...AND I LOVE IT! we're the same age so i really get you haha, you know what I mean? Love the way you write. And these pictures are fantastic! I love the snow and I live on 18 acres of land so I'm kind of the middle of nowhere too. I could never wake up that early but if I did I would totally take pictures. I'm super into photography and major jealous of these pics! :) I'm your newest GFC follower! XORorywww.WearAboutsBlog.com

...and you captured some great moments :) I love these pictures, especially the last two of them. Snow rarely falls in my town because we're too near the sea but I always love seeing it. It creates that special magic mood and makes me forget about how cold it really is :))
